The thumbnail icon is not showing even though I have enabled it

Post by Xtruth »

Some of my files that have .ico format, their thumbnails are not shown (almost 70% of my ico files)
In the settings of the preview format section, the ico option is active
My version:
24.20.0100

I put it in a zip file
Because it is not possible to send .ico format

No problem viewing that ico here with thumbnail views, hover box, or any of the previews. It's also shown in details and list views.

For troubleshooting purposes, have you tried using a thumbnail quality other than "high speed" (e.g., smooth)? Of course, you'll have to refresh.

Now I tested all of them (fast, high speed, crisp, smooth) but it didn't work

I would like to mention one thing: in the past, whenever I allowed xyplorer to create thumbnails, it gave an error in any folder that contained more than 100 videos, so I deleted all the thumbnails and then used file explorer to create the thumbnails by Windows (automatically). OK, then I opened xyplorer and saw that this time the thumbnails were created much faster and without errors.

Have you tried generating thumbs in a fresh instance (i.e., fresh; in the address bar)?
Also, try generating the same ico thumbs in a temp folder with nothing else other than the ico files?
I think Don has mentioned something in the past about the high-speed thumbnails taking advantage of explorer thumb caches.

in a fresh instance :

in another folder on the desktop and at the same time inside fresh instance (I also refreshed the thumbnails)

Reset your Windows file association for ico file.

Thank you, I did this, that is in "choose default apps by file type" i changed ICO format from app"Imageglass" to app"Pint", this made the thumbnails that were not created be created
do Setting the association program determines which program will create a thumbnail for that file ?
Sorry, my English is weak

No just ico, other formats are controlled by XYplorer config.

For me the best for Ico files is to display its contents in the file list
and not the icon of the associated tool.

I did this with the following registry file:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKCR\AppX43hnxtbyyps62jhe9sqpdzxn1790zetc\DefaultIcon]
@="%1"

Windows 11 Home x64 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3374)
Portable XYplorer (actual version, including betas)
Everything 1.5.0.1371a (x64), Everything Toolbar 1.3.2, Listary Pro 6.3.0.69

Thank you, I saved your method so that if the previous method does not work for any reason it in the future, I will implement
